Nice weather today turns gray and wet ahead

Cold spell hits tomorrow

.

It is a perfect day and hopefully you are getting your outdoor chores and fun done before the rain and cold moves in. We are on the warm side of an approaching cold front which is helping to push temps into the mid 70s this afternoon.

It moves in tonight and so do the showers. Look for increasing clouds this evening with periods of light rain. Rain will be off and on toward sunrise with colder air setting in.
